Data thatstaysAmerican
A new data center in Mount Carmel keeps American data on American soil — the records and services the country runs on, stored and secured here at home rather than overseas. Built for the town that powered the last century.
Everything the country runs on now lives as data — medical records, bank ledgers, personal financial records, power grids, our family pics and social media posts, pictures and videos and all the files of every business on Main Street. All of it has to be stored somewhere physical: in a building, on servers, on a patch of real ground. Whoever controls that ground controls the data.
The Stakes
Data has to live somewhere
Too much of America's data already sits in facilities owned or reached by foreign powers — and Beijing would prefer it stay that way. Every server built here is data we don't have to trust to a rival, and storage they don't get to control. This is exactly the kind of ground the United States can't afford to cede.
Mount Carmel can be part of the answer. The coal beneath this valley once helped power a nation. The same instinct — keep it close, keep it ours — is why America's data belongs in places exactly like this one.
Whoever stores the data controls it.— The case for data on American soil
